Fasläge

Fasläge is a Swedish term used mainly in technical contexts to denote a defined, stable orientation or position of a component or signal. The word combines fas, meaning phase, withläge, meaning position, and its exact meaning can vary between disciplines.

In mechanical engineering and control systems, fasläge refers to a designated or fixed position of a control element such as a switch, valve, cam, or actuator. This position is typically indexed or locked to ensure repeatable operation, safety, or calibration. Manuals and specifications may refer to devices being set to a particular fasläge to achieve a known state or to facilitate testing and maintenance.

In electrical engineering and related fields, fasläge can describe the phase position of an oscillating signal relative to a reference. It is relevant when discussing phase angles, synchronization, or timing relationships between voltages and currents. In this sense, fasläge is closely related to the concept of phase in phasor representations of alternating signals.

Usage notes and variations: fasläge is a technical term that appears mainly in Swedish engineering literature and manuals. In everyday Swedish, speakers may simply say “i fas” (in phase) or “i fast läge” (in fixed position), depending on the context. The specific definition of fasläge should be inferred from the surrounding technical material to avoid ambiguity.
